WHEN SHE WOKE, REIN was gone. She showered and slipped on the white dress he’d bought her. Then she thought better of it and pulled on Rein’s military pants, using the cord from the drapes to secure them around her waist. She slipped on his uniform shirt and tucked it into the waist, then braided her hair in a high ponytail.
Rein arrived with breakfast and stared at her. “What are you doing?”
Kaelyn answered with a bright smile, “It’s my disguise. I just need a baggy jacket and a hat. Then I’ll look like a boy.”
Rein burst into laughter. “Sweetheart, your breasts are too large and round to fool anyone into thinking you’re a boy.” He swept her into his arms and leaned down to kiss her.
She punched him in the arm, and he released her with a yelp of pain. “Hey! I’m injured.”
